The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MahaMetro) has completed the process of laying tracks on 7.5km Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation-Dapodi need stretch.
Authorities said establishment of the overhead footing link was in its last stages and would be finished inside a month. When that is finished, the Metro rakes will be worked till Dapodi on a preliminary premise.
